Canary Wharf is a child of the 1980s, built at a time of shoulder pads and power suits. But decades later some of the district's biggest tenants are moving out. So what's next for Canary Wharf.

I’m writing for the @FT on what the arrival of Donald Trump means for emerging market bonds. His victory has sent the dollar soaring. Which economies are likely to be hardest hit. Pls do get in touch if you have any particularly interesting takes #journorequest

Enjoyed reviewing Aaron Reeves and Sam Friedman's new book, Born to Rule, for the @FT. They say those born into the top 1 per cent are just as likely to get into the elite today as they were 125 years ago, except now they are better at hiding it. https://t.co/hZ9ZDClr9J via @ft
